Would you like to begin or continue your federal career with a job with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)? And would you like to do it in one of America’s favorite cities? Well the TSA is actively recruiting Transportation Security Administration officers for the Key West International Airport.
The TSA was created in the wake of the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001, and by joining the TSA you will be on the front line of protecting the traveling public and become an essential employee in the mission of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Applicants do not need previous experience working in security or law enforcement fields. “As a key element of the preparation for this job in national security, our officers will receive extensive training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center and they will be paid during this training," said Federal Security Director Jason T. Martin.
Applicants will need to apply on USAJobs.gov and there will be computer-based testing and in-person interviews for job seekers. Working for the federal government includes paid leave, health care plans for both full- and part-time employees, 401k coverage, tuition assistance and more.
Starting pay at EYW comes with a 15 percent incentive which can mean a rate of $20.71 per hour with opportunities for pay increases after six months. TSA is offering a sign-on bonus of up to $2,000 for eligible new hires in the area – $1,000 after onboarding and an additional $1,000 after one year of service, with service agreement.
TSA seeks those who want to take the initial step into a rewarding federal career and support TSA’s critical mission of protecting our nation’s transportation systems.
